Dinner 2025

[C. sapidus]

Last meal for our house guest, who returns to Maine tomorrow.

 

Andrew's Goa curry, with salmon, shrimp, and Thai eggplant. Spice paste was garlic, dried red chiles, coriander and cumin seed, black peppercorns, and turmeric. Curry had fried onions, coconut milk, and tamarind.

 

Basmati rice with spinach, fried shallots, and cinnamon stick. Interesting recipe - the spinach is cooked really dry.

 

Cucumber and ginger salad with lime juice, ginger, and mint leaves.

 

Parsi green chutney, with grated coconut, cilantro and mint leaves, jalapeno, garlic, cumin, lime juice, and a little sugar.

White Bean Gratin with Tomatoes and Sausage as well as Broccoli Rabe with Garlic and Olive Oil from All About Dinner by Molly Stevens - the gratin is baked in the oven with crumbled Italian sausage, Great Northern beans, onions, garlic, rosemary, diced tomatoes, parsley, panko bread crumbs, red pepper flakes and parmesan. Served with broccoli rabe - first quickly blanched and then pan fried with garlic, red pepper flakes and lemon juice

One of the smoked sausages I grilled the other day with some potato, onion and eggs. Burrata plonked on the middle and a little other cheese and Ajika seasoning sprinkled over.
